The NEW Canada Food Guide

Episode Notes

I remember a few of the older versions of this guide from grade school. We were taught the same rules, with very few changes, but maybe with more detail every year in Health class.

I have seen diet trends come and go, travelled the world and seen what other humans are eating first hand...but still our Canadian food rules stayed the same....and I never noticed or gave it much thought.

Over the last 5 years or so, I have been listening to my body more than what I see on TV or read about online. I have made my own rules that keep me sane and functioning and the more I learn about the food industries and the politics they involve themselves in - I am glad I am being my OWN guide.

In this episode, I offer a bit of background, what is rumoured to be coming and how it may change future generations of Canadians and how they feed themselves.

1. Preheat the oven to 450F. In a large bowl, toss the cauliﬂower with the oil, ginger and coriander and season with salt. Spread the cauliﬂower with the oil, ginger and coriander and season with salt. Spread the cauliﬂower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, stirring once or twice, until tender and lightly browned in spots. Let cool slightly.

2. Transfer the cauliﬂower to a food processor. Add the tahini and lemon juice and pulse to a chunky puree; season with salt. Add the cilantro and pulse just until incorporated. Transfer the spread to a bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm with pita bread or chips.
